A Watchman's Ghost.

For the past month or so ghost
story has been going the rounds OF
Sterling Run. Billy Carlisle, while
walking the track as night Waterman,
first saw his ghostship one moonlight
night about three weeks ago. Billy is
not superstitious and don't believe in
ghosts, but he says if there are such
things it was one he saw near the
splash-dam. 1t came down the track
within three feet of him, and when d.
rectly opposite disappeared mysterious
ly and noiselessly. 1t was like a very
small man carrying lantern. Last
week two or three young ladies were
scared near the same spot by the same
apparition. others have heard noises
there, but have paid no attention to
them until lately.
In the year 1868 Waterman named
John King was run over by the night
express near the spot where his ghost
ship is seen. and was killed. King was
supposed to have been intoxicated at
the time; he and man named Gillespie
had been quarreiing during the even
ing and threatening each other. Gil
lepsie lived in house near the cross
ing, which has since been torn down
by William Berry and moved away.
Lights have been seen to start up about
midnight from the site of the old dwell
ling, and move down the railroad to
where this man was killed, and disap-
pear. King was engaged to be mar
ried to girl in Luzerne county, and
had a letter written in his pocket to
send her when he was killed. She
had often advised him to quit drinking.
and being killed while intoxicated has
caused the discontinued spirit of the
dead to return to the scene of his
death Wsllianssport (Pa.) Grit

Milinite Ia the ma me of q new explosive, q

Milinite is the name OF new explosive, SO
powerful that it is very dangerous to
handle. In an accident by which six men
were killed by it's unex pected explosion
two of the bodies were utterly destroyed
SO that not fragment OF them could be
found. Nitro glycerine is another explo-
sive, better known than infinite, and per.
haps OF equal power, but it is being used
to bring the dead to life. A medical ex-
change relates the case OF a woman. ap-
parently dead by collapse, who was resus-
citated by subcutaneous injection OF a
dilute solution of nitro-glycerine. "a min
ute elapsed before the patient gave a slight
gasp after the third minute the pulse was
felt, and the heart was distinctly heard;
a flush came over the face OF the patient,
the eyes opened, and the musles, which had
assumed the rigidity OF death, gradually
relaxed, and she became conscious. In q
few days the patient made a good recov-
ery.' These facts demonstrate the i'm.
portance of dosage and method OF admin
istration OF anything powerful for both
good and evil.-Dr. Foot's Health Monthly

A Multitude OF Ailments.

The ailments which affiict the kidneys and
bladder are so numerous, that merely to name
them would fill a space far outrunning the linn
its Of this article. Suffice it to say, that they
are both obstinate and dangerous. To their
prevention Hostetter's stomach Bitters is well
adapted Tho stimulus which it lends to the
action Of the kidneys when they are lethargc,
serve to counterfeit a tendency in them to lapse,
first, into state Of pernicious inactivity, and
afterwards into one of positive organic DIS
ease, which soon destroys their delicate integu-
ments, poisons the blood and causes death. A
double purpose is served, by this depurent. 1t

Impurities from the blood which have no natural

OuyerWe ndell Holmes at Home.

Max Eliot, in The Boston Herald.
writes During the past week | have
had an opportunity of chatting at some
length with Boston's most celebrated
literary lion. DIR. Oliver Wendell
Holmes. and he related to me sue
cess on of encroachments of his much
engaged time. His correspondence
has become SO voluminous. he tells me.
that he has been obliged to have other
people sort out and arrange his letters.
So far Mr.. Holmes has endeavored to
attend personally to his own cor
respondence, but he said, almost sadly:
II am afraid l shall have to do as ether
busy mon have done-come to using
one Of these typewriters, and yet |
don't want to do that" Imagine, il
YOU can, Boston's famous "Autocrat"
using that most prosaic of all machines
"a typewriter 1t seems almost
sacrilege. Dr. Holmes is almost pro.
verbally kind to autograph collectors,
but he deplores the want Of tact and
bad taste many of these collectors ex-
hibit in writing to prominent persons
for their signatures. Some of the
letters he receives, he tells me. cover
one and often two finely written sheets
of note-paper but he treasures as a
rarity the memory OF an unknown
lady who sent him not long since Il
stamped and addressed envelope in
closing blank card. Not one line
was written in the way of letter. and
DR.. Holmes says if all autograph-seek-
ers would thus try to obtain their de-
sire fewer celebrated people would
refuse to send their names when asked
to do so.
What delightful interesting and
positively fascinating little man he is!
His conversation Is as brisk and ener-
getic in tone and character as are his
movements, and no one unacquainted
with his age would dream of him being
well-nigh the four-score that is more
than the average age allotted to man.
As he sat the other day very erect up
on sofa in the stting-room and talk
ed of other great men whose contem-
porary he is and has been, l could not
realize that old age has already claim
ed him for her own. In his dress he
was the perfection of good taste, and
even quiet elegance, that descended to
the fashion of the dark brown gloves
with heavy stitching that he wore. His
tightly buttoned frock coat. immaculate
linen and fine diagonal topcoat were
all in keeping with the man and his
notable career in the field of letters
and his acknowledged profession. Some
of his talk was of Longfellow, Emerson,
Alcott and Lowell. and all of it was
filled with expressions of thought, feel.
ing and regard that l would give much
could transfer its intense interest tc
this column. As is we'll known, DR..
Holmes devotes his work now ex
clusively to the Atlantic Monthly, but
there are so many unlooked-for de-
mands upon his time that, in spite Of
himself, he finds his time and talent
called into requisition in other places,
but who that is famous does not have
to pay we'll for the cost of his fame?
